The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. Mr. Thomas / is going / to buy / horse.
Correct Answer :
horse
Solution :
The correct answer is horse.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, "Mr. Thomas / is going / to buy / horse.", the part "horse" contains a grammatical error.
The word 'horse' is a singular countable noun. According to English grammar rules, a singular countable noun must be preceded by an article (such as 'a', 'an', or 'the') or another determiner.
Therefore, the indefinite article 'a' should be added before 'horse' (i.e., 'a horse').
Correct Sentence:
"Mr. Thomas is going to buy a horse."
